a year in New York City.

一年多前在纽约表演过
She could have raised Gershwin himself from the grave with that

她的舞蹈能将格什温从坟里召出来
dance, and with the way she sang the song,

还有她的歌声也是
prompted by a colored trumpet player

在一位穿着花哨的小号手的怂恿下
playing it like a black torch song.

那乐曲就像悲伤恋歌
There to see, plain as day, was all the power of her whiteness,

可见日间的朴实是她纯洁的力量
that big, white thing. "Someday he'll come along,

那巨大而洁白的物事 '有天他会回来
the man I love, and he'll be big and strong,

我爱的那个男人他将魁梧而强壮
the man I love.'

我心爱的男人'
The language was ordinary enough to have been lifted from the most

这言语着实平凡就像抄自最幼稚的
innocent first-grade primer, but when the record was over,

幼儿启蒙读物但当唱片停止转动
Steena put her hands up to hide her face, half meaning,

斯蒂娜双手遮脸半真半假的
